All About Ives
In 1911, American composer Charles Ives wrote "The Universe Symphony," in which he "attempted to cast the physical universe of all humanity past, present and future, physical and spiritual, [in] a "universe of tone" [All Music Guide]. Today, we're joined by Johnny Reinhard, an experimental composer who has updated Ives' efforts, through a collaboration with Mike Thorne, a musician and record producer who has worked with everyone from Deep Purple to the Sex Pistols to Til Tuesday and Blur. We'll get a broader perspective on Ives' place in American musical history when we speak with composer Danny Felsenfeld, who has just written a new book called "Ives and Copland: A Listener's Guide." Also: A look at the winners of the 2005 Van Cliburn competition with Dallas Morning News critic Scott Cantrell.
